The LVH line has never been an infused line, years ago, it used to be a long filler line with two blends: a medium bodied Cameroon wrapper (LVH) and a full-bodied Conn. broadleaf maduro (LVH Early Years). Then they disappeared for a year or year and a half, then came back as their current incarnation as mixed-filler cigars from scrap trimmings from other lines. One of the problems with mixed filler & short filler is that the bend can be inconsistent. Another thing about scrap trimmings is that the wrapper leaf has to be removed before the tobacco is used in mixed filler cigars because the wrapper will burn bitter inside the cigar. Someone could have messed up and you got a stick with a bunch of wrapper in the filler.
